  • AngelicNympho 𝒜𝓃ℊℯ𝓁𝒶 𝒵. (@AngelicNympho) reported

    @Brig_Lewdholm //I feel like it does have it's place in Overwatch, but the issue is not being able to do literally anything about it. It'll make it so it's harder to stagger someone, and not the easiest thing in the world, y'know?

  • ArthurM12790490 Arthur Morgan (@ArthurM12790490) reported

    @BlizzardCS I've had a problem on Xbox where i cant launch Overwatch and it gives me an error for validating the game i bought. I went through all the possible solutions and i eventually tried uninstalling and reinstalling. It's now no longer in my games list and i am unable to install it

  • shotgunJ0EY shotgunJ0EY (@shotgunJ0EY) reported

    Hey nice experimental today @overwatch! Really addressed core issues of dvas call mech dmg needing a buff. Oh wait... No, it was actually a terrible expr. Hitscan is beyond unfun and overpowered for literally years now. It baffles me, the balancing in this game 🧠🧠🧠

  • Dracofav John (@Dracofav) reported

    So last night after talking on Tuesday with some lovely folks about Overwatch I decided to get myself back up to speed on it. Well first there are A LOT of new characters since I last played. And second, the lag for me just in just the practice room was HORRIFYING.

  • shujaa_exe shu (@shujaa_exe) reported

    **** i have to fix my sleep schedule for overwatch league.. this is gonna be a pain

  • vanliden1 vanliden (@vanliden1) reported

    @CSGO Not to mention about broken OVERWATCH system, which don't work at all, thats why after playing over 2k hours i stopped playing at all. This company is a joke.

  • LuigiUpB InfernoCA | LuigiUpB (@LuigiUpB) reported

    @CSGO @CBCS Fix Overwatch and VAC. 7/10 of my last matches had spinbotters and I have a good trust factor.

  • COB4YN Collin (@COB4YN) reported

    First night on the grind and my Overwatch has begun to lag. The bad timing is omega. I'll get it fixed for tomorrow's hopefully.

  • JackyBoyDraws JackyBoyDraws (@JackyBoyDraws) reported

    @BlizzardCS Played overwatch a few mins ago. Everything was perfectly fine. The server "lost connection" for no apparent reason, and I'm stuck with a 7 hour suspension. Is there anything you guys can do to fix it? My Internet has been checked multiple times, comes out stable without no prob.

  • JayAyyWhy1 Jay Ayy Why (@JayAyyWhy1) reported

    the REAL problem with overwatch is that not everyone can sprint ...no i didnt lose all of my sleep darts trying to run away as Ana why would you think that

  • DeepestRed1138 Socialism with Insurrectionist Characteristics (@DeepestRed1138) reported

    Listen, we all know Overwatch has its problems, but no one can deny the fact that Ashe

    "Overwatch has a fatal flaw, which is why it's not working as well as it should; Its overrun with old people."

  • CorgiCraft |VTuber| #TrueSMP (@CorgiCraft) reported

    We had a serious glitch happen on twitch today where my obs randomly just stopped streaming completely and left me no options on how to fix it other then to close and restart the whole window WHILE IM IN AN OVERWATCH COMPETITIVE MATCH it was a nightmare 😩

  • ImThour Avi Thour (@ImThour) reported

    Alright, so Overwatch system in @CSGO is broken and even dead. I decrypt my overwatch cases and I know who is the cheater behind the case, and It's sad to know that x7 Spinbotters I reported for Cheating are still not banned from last 6 days. #CSGO

  • JackyBoyDraws JackyBoyDraws (@JackyBoyDraws) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hey! Are you guys having any issues with Overwatch game servers? The connection to one was lost for me and I ended up getting a 7 hour suspension for it. My internet is perfectly stable and all that, everything's been checked surrounding that. Know anything?

  • AKapella_OW AKapella (@AKapella_OW) reported

    New overwatch experimental looks good, echo change ive wanted for a while is coming through but bap is just getting a direct buff for high elo and will be turbo broken if it goes through

  • Smiley38966066 Smiley (@Smiley38966066) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent your stupid game Overwatch server crashed so I lose 59 rating and get suspended. What is that fairness. Horrible service

  • overwatch_chats Overwatch Chat (@overwatch_chats) reported

    Q: Why does Junkrat have self esteem issues? A: Everyone else under-mines him. #OverwatchJokes #overwatch #winnable

  • OP_Amqerica_ OP_Amqerica_HPE (@OP_Amqerica_) reported

    @BlizzardCS Are Overwatch servers having problems right now? There's a huge spike in ping and I just had a whole Competitive match cancelled because of it disconnecting everyone.

  • jaycar2a Jacob Cardoza (@jaycar2a) reported

    @jeffgerstmann Had the same issue with Overwatch not launching for a week. Turns out it was Razer Synapse as well.

  • ThatSeanMc JudgeHolden26 (@ThatSeanMc) reported

    @PaulTassi Felt they tried 2 do this @ the start of D2 (Overwatch was huge then) & it was never a good fit for dual balancing. Crucible & its 4v4 (mostly) tight circular maps & mysterious player stats/matchmaking hasn’t felt right since. Shoving 6v6 into those maps didn’t fix it either.

  • jpsobraw jp mccree simp (@jpsobraw) reported

    @StealthIsHere at least overwatch doesnt have bugs that make the game unbalanced an unplayable untill they fix it...

  • DTenelsen Dominik Tenelsen (@DTenelsen) reported

    @CSGO Better fix VacNet and Overwatch, there is a spinbotter in every second game I’ve played the last week..

  • pelipurkki ICS (@pelipurkki) reported

    @JerseyFinFan @Victouffe @CSGO Every single overwatch i view is aimbot. Cheating is true problem in this game and only the most obvious cheaters get overwatched. Vac catches only fraction of cheaters and that happens 2-4 months, even year later. No sympathy for cheaters.

  • xoStxrboy Monarch 💫 (@xoStxrboy) reported

    I can't play Overwatch till I move houses anymore this lag is way too much

  • b713974792 b7wenty (@b713974792) reported

    @TheMacroShow Spectrum is *** like for real it literally has a daily disconnect like if I play overwatch there's a chance I could lose 50sr or of I play apex I can just dc mid fight or any other online game even just talking to friends I have to reset the party after being kicked

  • AdzWharton Adz (@AdzWharton) reported

    @reapzlbbh Gameplay wise no. Overwatch clearly has a working formula and more content and new ways to play it the better. Unless it's broken as ****. But I feel overwatch 2 story is gonna disappoint a lot of people because how all over the place people expectations are. I hope I'm wrong

  • TRKazukiri TheRealKazukiri (@TRKazukiri) reported

    @solacegrey1 @SamitoFPS My guy. 30 Overwatch accounts. I’ve played at every elo. What you’re saying. Reeks of low low elo. Even plats know how broken immo is.

  • sphecidwasp matteo 🆒 (@sphecidwasp) reported

    My main problem with overwatch is that there’s hot people I think every team shooter should follow the tf2 model where it’s just a bunch of ugly middle aged men killing each other over gravel
